WORSE THAN SMALLPOX.
A Great Danger which Menaces an Uusus
DiciOua Public.

p1c10uA PuDiIc.
The Brompton Hospital for Consumptives,
in London, reports that over fifty Deope
out every hundred consumptives, are victims
of constipated or inactive kidneys.
Consumption is one of our national dis
eases, and the above report goes to prove
what has often been said in our columns dur
ing the last eight years, that kidney troubles
are not only the cause of more than half the
cases of consumption, but Of ninety out of
every hundred other common diseases They
who have taken this position, made their
claims after an elaborate investigation, ana
their proof that they have discovered spe-
cific for the terrible and st$althy kidney dis
cases. which have lie 'ome SO prevalent
among us, is wise and convincing.
We have recently received from them
fresh supply of their wonderful advertising.
They have challenged the medical profession
and science to investigate. They have IN
vestigatei, and those who are frank have
admitted the truth Of their statements.
They claim that ninety per cent. of diseases
come originally from Inactive kidneys; that
these inactive kidneys allow thu blood to be-
come filled with uric acid poison: that this
uric acid poison in the blood carries disease
through every organ.
There is enough uric acid developed in the
system within twenty four hours to kill half
q dozen men.
This being a scientific fact, it requires only
ordinary wisdom to see the effect inactive
kidneys must have upon the system.
If this poison is not removed, it ruins every
organ. If the bowels, stomach or liver be-
come inactive, we know it at once, but other
organs help them out IL the kidneys become
constipated aud dormant, the warning comes
later on, and often when it is too late, be-
cause the effects are remote from the kidneys
and those organs are not.suspected to he out
of order.
Organs that sre weak and diseased are un-
able to resist the attacks of this poison, and
the disease often takes the form of and Is
treated as q local affection, when in reality
the real cause Of the trouble was inactive
kidneys.
Too many medical men of the present day
hold what was fact twenty years ago, that
kidney disease is incurable, according TO the
medicines authorized by their code Hence,
they ignore the original cause of disease it
self, and give their attention to useless treat
ing of local effects
They dose the patient with quinine, NOR
phine, or with salts and other physics, mop
ing that thus nature may cure the disease
while the kidneys continue to waste away
with Inflammation, liberation and decay, and
the victim eventually perishes.
The same quantity of blood that passes
through the heart, passes through the kidneys.
If the kidneys are diseased, the blood soaks uE
this disease and takes it all through the sys
ten. Hence il is, that the claim is made that
| Warmers safe cure, the only known spe-
| cific for kidney .seaseS, cures SO per cent
| of human ailments, because il, and it alone,
| is able to maintain the natural activity of the
| kidneys, and to neutraliZe and remove the
uric acid, or kidney poison, as fast as it is
| formed.
II this acid is not removed, there is inactiv-
| :ty of the kidneys, aud there will be produced
in the system paralysis, apoplexy, dyspep-
| STA, consumption, heart disease, headache !,
| rheumatism, pneumonia, impotency and all
| the namelesS diseases of delicate women. Ii
| the poisonous matter is separated from the
blood, as fast as it is formed, these diseases,
in q ajority of cases, would not exist.
1t only requires a particle of smallpox
virus to produce that vile disease, aad the
poisonous matter from the Kidneys passing
I'll through the system and becoming lodged
at different weak points, is equally destruc-
tive, although moro disguised.
If it were possible for us to see into the
kidneys, and how quickly the blood PASSING
through them goes to the heart and lungs AND
| other parts Of the system, carrying this
| deadly virus with it, all would believe with
out hesitation what has SO often been stated
| in advertisements in these columns, that thu
kidneys are the most important organs in the
| body.
They may regard this article as an a1ver
| tisement and refuse to believe it, but that i:
matter over which we have no control
| Careful investigation and ,ience itself arr
proving beyond doubt that this organ is
| In fact, more important than any other il
| the system as a health regulator, and as sucI
| should be closely wat he'd for the least sigl
| of dsordered action.
